Mars Toys 1/6 MAT023 Alfred Pennyworth & MAT023B body/sculpt set (Batman '66)

[Time_killer]

I received Alfred today. They were really rough with shipping. The exterior box was beat up to the point that even the art box was damaged. Fortunately, the contents were spared of damage.

I'm surprised there's no documentation with these figures. I'm having a difficult time figuring out how to get the phone light on. I'm satisfied with the sculpt. Looks great with his glasses on. I do dread changing him from the tux to the suit with smock. I bet that will be a chore.

Newmar body is going to be extremely tough for Mars.

And in the meantime, JazzInc is making an authorized version of Newmar. So a good portion of Mars's market will already have their Catwoman. That's why I suggested that Mars might do another actress of Catwoman. They could do a double-pack of Meriwether and Kitt. It would also keep the attachment to the Batman movie that Mars has been doing.

I'll be getting Joost fo sho.

 

[Wor-Gar]

Yeah, after Pfeiffer practice, JazzInc will have the body down.

I'll likely buy whomever offers her first, so... I'd bet on JazzInc.

 

[mailalan]

I'll buy every Julie Newmar Catwoman that is produced, unless it just looks terrible.

Lucky! Somehow mine arrived with a mint box but scuffed paint on the head sculpt :/

To get the lights to work... use magnets

 

[KingGrayskull]

Supporting Jazzinc with the license is a no brainer. In all honesty, I‘d buy both…

Six days sitting at a warehouse should I be concerned?

Six days sitting at a warehouse should I be concerned?

I don't think so. Mine was shipped from Kit on 2/3 and it's still slowly making its way through the system. Hopefully, mine has finally completed the customs process and is finally on the way. Don't be surprised if yours follows the same path. This is the longest I have ever waited on a shipment from Kit all because of the tariff mess. I almost expect my mail delivery person to leave me a bill asking me to pay it before I can pick up my Alfred at the post office.

Mine should be here today or tomorrow. I think the variance is where it had to go through customs. Mine was Chicago and seems a bit faster than other areas. Good luck!

Some of you who have been waiting on Alfred may not like this news. Alfred showed up on my door step today. Didn't know he was shipping. I thought I was on that April pre-order thing. I didn't see a tracking number. Ordered on the 7th.

Like I mentioned above, I think a lot of the delay is region specific. I was a day two order and mine is out for delivery today. Dragged a little bit in Chicago customs, but not as long as some others are experiencing. Congrats on the surprise!

My Alfred made it out of customs and is due for delivery tomorrow.

 

[UMRebel]

Same for me, FINALLY. Not sure if it will arrive tomorrow, Sunday or Monday, but at least it's closer to my neck of the woods and not still stalled "at warehouse" or customs.

I think it’s timing. I’m in the same area as you, day 1 order, still no movement since it halted.

 

[DCcustoms]

My tracking never stopped updating. Ordered day 3 of release, it arrived in MD without delay and was delivered Wednesday!

I didn’t talk smack about anybody so perhaps the gods of plastic are just pleased with me.

 

[darth dennis]

I got my Alfred and....drum roll please......I have six glasses of half full milk. I don't care one bit about it so if there's anyone out there who wants to do any kind of milk swap, I'm your guy. I'll be displaying him behind the table with the statue and phone with receiver up to ear if that pose is possible. Milk and tray will stay in the box.
